Thank you for this. At my mother's wake (she was 92, and had lived a hero's life), a friend asked me what had been my ambitions when I was a child. Had I known of this poem , I would have shared it with him.Posted 04/05/2018 04:58 PM

Reading your poem was such a joy, and I especially liked
"we pray our time here weighs in as a life worth living..."
